Should it be refrigerated?
Thankfully, this is more a matter of personal preference rather than of health and safety.
Storing it in a refrigerator is beneficial given the cool, undisrupted atmosphere.
But storing it outside of the fridge is fine too - just keep it out of direct sunlight and at room temperature.
How long does umeboshi paste last?
Umeboshi are preserved plums and due to the way they are processed, they are quite shelf stable.
Depending on the variety they can be safely stored from 6 months to much longer - you will find umeboshi that are aged for years before being unsealed and consumed.
Each jar will have a best-by date included on the bottom (year/month/day), as a quality indicator.
How can it be used?
Umeboshi paste is incredibly versatile. You'll find it can be used to add a pop of flavor to a vast range of foods - from traditional uses like on white rice or sushi, to using it as a topping on proteins, carbs, and vegetables. You can even incorporate it into salad dressing or marinades - the potential only depends on your preferences.
